About Gawkbot
This tool is an open source agent runner that executes tedious administrative work on your own machine and then builds a small application so you can review what happened. Each bot runs as its own worker with a shell, a browser and a working directory of its own, uses only the tools it has been allowed, and reports back afterwards rather than asking for instructions at every step. The published examples cover filing expense reports, reconciling invoices against bank records, triaging an inbox, booking meetings, chasing unanswered replies and renaming files to a stated convention.
It is aimed at technically comfortable individuals and small teams who would rather run agents locally than hand credentials to a hosted service. Bots are addressed one at a time; mentioning another bot sends yours to consult it instead of pulling it into the conversation. When a task is finished the bot generates what the project calls a microapp, a small interface listing what was done, what was corrected and what still needs a decision. The permission model is deliberately conservative: every send, commit, purchase and delete is gated behind an approval click, approval is granted per action rather than as a blanket grant, and it does not persist.
The software is free. Its structured data lists a price of zero US dollars, and the site states plainly that there is no account to create, no hosted service in the request path and no per seat pricing. It runs with your own model keys, so the only running cost is whatever your model provider charges, and pointing it at a locally hosted model removes that too. Installation is through npm or by cloning the repository and building the Go binary.
